This is the time

This is Now

To gather the children

Of the world

Into my heart

No matter

Who they are

No matter

Where they are

No matter

Colors of their skin

No matter

They be wise

No matter

Be they slow

They live inside

Me

With the Light

With the love

Of the Divine

 

Who gives the bounty

Mother Earth provides

Us all

But     Oh Divine Creator

There are children

In our world

Many children

Who live with empty

Bellies

Hollow eyes

Parasites in their

Guts

From dirty water

They drink

Bathe in

There are children

Many children

Around the world

Who know the terror

Of a mass shooting

The terror of war

Bombs     gunfire

People around them

Dying

Mothers     fathers

Siblings     schoolmates

Their minds     their dreams

Clogged with the

Memory

Of rape     pillaging     killing

 

Divine Creator

I call to you

Hear me

Help us stop it

Help us stop it

Help us save

Our children

Hear me

 

I bless them

Cherish them

Love them

 

This is the time

Now

 

Thank you     thank you     thank you

Amen
